In this episode, we dive into a fascinating conversation with Scott Dedels, a spiritual seeker, Bitcoiner, and entrepreneur. Scott is the founder of Block Rewards and author of 'The Dao of Bitcoin' and 'Bitcoin for Financial Advisors.' We discuss his recent trip to Australia for Bitcoin Live, his love for Bitcoin conferences, and his unique journey from financial services to becoming a Bitcoin advocate. Scott shares his insights on the intersection of Bitcoin and Daoism, exploring how Bitcoin's principles align with Daoist philosophy, emphasizing the importance of being present and understanding the procedural nature of all things.

We also explore the challenges and opportunities of integrating Bitcoin into financial systems, particularly in the context of small businesses and regulatory barriers. Scott discusses the concept of earning Bitcoin and the potential for innovation in payroll and HR tools that operate on Bitcoin. The conversation touches on the broader implications of Bitcoin on time preference, financial autonomy, and the spiritual awakening that often accompanies a deeper understanding of Bitcoin. Scott's insights offer a unique perspective on how Bitcoin can transform not only financial systems but also personal and spiritual lives.
